The Role

We are looking to recruit HOLMES Indexers at Lewes HQ, Sussex.

HOLMES is the specialist police database system that is used to support Major Crime investigations from the outset of the enquiry through to court prosecution and any subsequent appeals against conviction.

The Indexer is responsible for placing information contained within these documents into different indices and categories, and index linking common factors.

Appointment is conditional on passing a HOLMES full time four week Initial Training Course which will be run from another force area.

The starting salary for this role will usually be at the bottom of the salary range and will be pro-rata if the working hours are less than full time.

Key Responsibilities

You will be required to attend briefings to ensure a full appreciation of the current state and lines of the enquiry.

You should expect to be working in a pressurised environment which can be noisy and fast paced with continual interruptions.

You will need to show a commitment to flexible working practices and patterns.

You will also be providing support to the Serious & Organised Crime Unit and the Economic Crime Unit when required.
